第3题：

Social change is more likely to occur in societies where there is a mixture of different kinds of people than in societies where people are similar in many ways. The simple reason for this is that there are more different ways of looking at things present in the first kind of society. There are more ideas, more disagreements in interest, and more groups and organizations with different beliefs. In addition, there is usually a greater worldly interest and greater tolerance in mixed societies. All these factors tend to protnote social change by opening more areas of life to decision.
In a society where people are quite similar in many ways, there are fewer occasions for people to see the need or the opportunity for change because everything seems to be the same. And although conditions may not be satisfactory, they are at least customary and undisputed.
Within a society, social changes is also likely to occur more frequently and more readily in the material aspects of the culture than in the non-material, for example, in technology rather than in values; in what has been learned later in life rather than what was learned early; in the less basic and less emotional aspects of society than in their opposites; in the simple elements rather than in the complex ones; in form rather than in substance; and in elements that are acceptable to the culture rather than in strange elements.
Furthermore, social change is easier if it is gradual. For example, it comes more readily in human relations on a continuous scale rather than one with sharp difference. This is one reason why change has not come more quickly to Black Americans as compared to other American minorities,because of the sharp difference in appearance between them and their white counterparts.
?Social change is less likely to occur in a society where people are quite similar in many ways because__________.

A.people there have got so accustomed to their conditions that they seldom think it necessary to change
B.people there have identical needs that can be satisfied without much difficulty
C.people there are easy to please
D.people there are less disputed

答案：A
解析：
由第一段最后一句“although conditions may not be satisfactory，they are at least customary and undisputed”可知答案为A，此选项是对原文的同义转述。

What benefit can middle-aged adults get by sending their parents to a nursing home?They can return to their ____.

正确答案： normal everyday live
解析：
根据提示信息“他们就能回到原来的……”可推知，所缺内容或是地点或是一种状态，由对话中“return to their normal everyday life”可知，是回到原来的正常的生活状态。
【录音原文】
　　People are living longer and longer. As a result, more and more middle-aged adults have to take care of their aging parents when their parents can no longer care for themselves. These adults may be forced to stay at home to care for them. Taking care of aging parents is quite difficult. For example, the aging parent may become blind, so he or she needs children to perform a lot of everyday work. The roles of parents and children are then changed. Children are forced to care for their parents as if their parents were children. When children find it difficult to take care of their dependent parents, they often decide to take them to a nursing home, there proper care and attention can be given. This allows children to return to their normal everyday life.
Q11: Why do more middle-aged adults have to take care of their aging parents?
Q12: What does the speaker think of the job of taking care of an aging parent?
Q13: How are the family roles changed?
Q14: What can a nursing home do for aging parents?
Q15: What benefit can middle-aged adults get by sending their parents to a nursing home?
